Pre-Commencement Submissions

A collection of all submissions from members and participants who're too excited to wait for the commencement of the project. Feel free to submit!
:dalove:

Internet Explorer

You may experience some problems with our skin if you are using Internet Explorer. A very noticeable problem is a great patch of transparent (deviantART default green) space near the top. Our skin is completely purple and should not have any such spaces. Please use another browser like Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome etc. It works fine in those browsers, just not IE.

If anybody knows what to do in order to fix this problem (how to edit the journal skin) please note us. We will be very grateful.

Sister Club: ProjectComment

:iconprojectcomment:

We are proud to say that *ProjectComment is our sister club. They are a team of wonderful staff who feature underappreciated art in weekly news articles. These articles aim to draw more attention to the featured artworks and encourage deviants to give constructive comments i.e. something besides 'cool' or 'cute'. Lots of effort goes into compiling these articles and the dedication shines through from every corner. The staff are friendly and also take suggestions from the general public. As well as this, there is a team of commenters who will comment on any deviations requested of them. This ensures that anybody who feels that their deviations do not receive enough comments at the end of the day will not be left out. We at Project: Always Motivated urge you to visit their page and get involved with any of their events, contest and most of all commenting.

What does this mean?
Being our sister clubs means that we are hand in hand with each other when it comes to support on deviantART. We will regularly feature each other's contests, winners, any upcoming events and help promote what we do. It also means that we are mutually benefiting from each other. For example, participants submitting to =alwaysmotivated may feel the need to have their art commented on and head over to *ProjectComment for help. And like the name suggests, our clubs connect and form a warm, deviantART family.

Please vote if you are a part of the 10 Week IMWC and you watch the club. We are looking for 21 votes exactly, no more no less.

04/11/09 Please enter the contest! I'm just going to keep that there until the contest is over. ^^; I am in exam-hiatus no more! In fact, I'm back bigger, better and with a lot more time. In the next few days I'll be working to catch up on some notes and comments so please me patient (and merciful). :giggle: The 10 Week Improve Me Writer's Challenge has been pushed back a week due to almost a week of delay. We apologise for the delay. While I was gone, ~tanniecookie couldn't manage the first article by herself. But it will now be submitted on 08/11/09 so keep a sharp lookout for it! :heart: A favour to ask of you, mind faving this news article? It's the list of challengers for the 10 Week IMWC! :D

:icontanniecookie:
09/11/09 The Week One article for the 10 Week Improve Me Writer's Challenge is out! You can view it here, make sure that you :+favlove: it! The topic is Countering Writer's Block - The Basics of Getting Started. You can find more information here. We are looking forward to all 20 responses from our 20 challengers. :) Thank you also to ~elvivo and =3wyl who contributed to the article, as well as =Corina90 for taking part in the interview.

Always Motivated is no normal club! In fact, the club was made especially for the project "Always Motivated"*. So before we begin introducing you to the club, we'd better get you familiarized with the project!

Do you ever feel like you're just out of inspiration or "out of the mood" for art? If you do, then you probably know you're not the only one. Just take a second to think about it. There are likely to be thousands of artists out there just like you! You'll get bad days where you get "writer's block" or "artist's block" and you won't be able to figure out what to put down onto that blank slate. Or maybe you just can't be bothered? Well, that's not the end of it. The most frightening happening is when you get into a habit of those bad days. Yes... one bad day leads to another and soon you're not submitting anything at all! That's how the Always Motivated project came to be. We're here to encourage you, inspire you and motivate you as an artist in hope that you will find your own style on the way and find yourself a better artist at the finish line.

Visit About Us for more information.

  • Interests: Helping others to improve and develop their art.
  • Personal Quote: Fall in love with creativity!

Shoutbox

=alwaysmotivated:iconalwaysmotivated:
And a little more relaxing... we don't expect 50000 artworks in a month. And even if a picture was worth a thousand words, 50 would still be quite a lot. :giggle:
